I don' t hunt deer for sport, but I'd shoot this thing if I came across it.

Hmmm steaaaak
I took the hunter ed course in 95 so I could eat organic meat. Intructors says this  there or certain values theat people have on hunting and 100 % of the people would be offenended by one of the reasons .
hunting for the trophy
hunting for the food
hunting for the grand slam [ filling all your tags in one year ]
hunting to kill
hunting cause you have a gun
hunting as a social sport {hunting with grandpa or dad or ? ]
hunting cause you enjoy the outdoors
Hunting is like four wheeling , there are many values attached to it some people hate rocks and some love long and deep mud bogs . Both sports offend people , but do we stop cause some one hates us for it ?
Me I hunt cause i enjoy the kill, have a gun , like to eat it , fill all my tags and have a trophy on the wall while enjoying the outdoors and good times with some friends.
Did my values just offend you ?

Al, if it was a mistakes that's ok.

The underlying issue is peoples perception of text.  If you attack a hobby that people like just because you don't it's hard to percieve if you're just messing with them or not.  It's like most people's view on 4x4'ing.  Both are legal, there are rules that govern both.  The best we can do is follow them to try and reduce the bad views people have of them.

i said it wasn't funny.  i didn't attack.  the next post attacked vegans.. way out of left field at that.  i am not the one who needs to defend myself.

Defend from what Al?  In your seconds post you attacked hunters which I was trying to defend.  My response was merely that just because you buy meat from a supermarket doesn't mean the animal didn't suffer.  If you want to compare it, compare it to wheeling.  Lots of people look ill upon the 4x4 crowd because they think it's bad for the environment.
